Minc,

a line in win.ini with " run " usually does have something after it. It's

telling windows that you want a certain app to run when windows starts

up.

The 6 May edition of TIME Magazine has a long article on autism. It does a

decent job on giving accurate statistics and then spends the rest of the

article on genetics! Somehow their writers missed the world wide work being

done on the immune system. THIS IS OUR CHANCE. Letters@... or fax

1-212-522-8949. This is our opportunity to tell a media giant about . DO

it today. Next week is too late. The message is simple. Autism is a symptom

of an immune system that is not working correctly. The disease is diagnosed

by history, physical, blood work, and neurospect of the brain. Medical

treatment is focused on restoring the immune system to normal function. As

the immune system improves so does the child! We are poised to begin research

on agents that could possibly dramatically improve the medical treatment. All

we need are research dollars. .net. Kathy -NNY

A major point being an epidemic can not be soley caused by genetics. Do you

know many chronic illnesses which do not have a genetic component? Does one not

treat diabetes because it is genetic?

Kathy,

Thanks for your help with this short, but very

direct and important message that must be

reached by TIME magazine, literally on TIME !!

Type I Diabetes is not inheritable. A person can inherit the tendency to

develop the disease but other factors cause it to emerge. It is an autoimmune

disease.

Type II Diabetes Genetic factors are thought to play a role in the

development of insulin resistance diabetes, however risk factors are

definitely associated; age, Obesity, ethnic group, family history. There is a

lot of though that lack of exercise and type of diet may also play major

roles here. Lots of Americans eat horrifically high glycemic diets so are

they just wearing their pancreas out by starting their day at Starbucks and

ending it with a beer or soda?

Diabetes can occur associated with other syndromes or conditions and

pregnancy. To ask if any of the types of diabetes are genetic cannot be

answered with a strict yes or no. You could say that Type II is at epidemic

rates compared to the rates 40 years ago but then you have to look at the

factors involved. Simply put and diabetes is NOT simple, we are an older,

fatter, out of shape nation with a lot more type II diabetes due to genes or

due to the way we choose to live our lives? , you do come up with thought

provoking difficult to answer questions! Kathy

that was my point, just because there is a strong " genetic " tendancy doesn't

mean we don't treat it

You are so right but this whole genetic thing is extremely thought

provoking. As a public health person you can't look at the statistics without

thinking about extrinsic factors but even without the background how can you

thing genetics under any circumstances? This is going to sound cold but the

only explanation for the rise in stats is that a generation or two ago a

whole lot of effected people had to reproduce to produce a whole lot of

carriers to produce a whole lot of effected people. In order for that to work

a sub population of effected families should be doing a disproportionate

amount of reproducing. Now we know that is not happening because the average

parent on this list does not have 12 autistic children, and severely autistic

adults do not usually have children. Now we know that an autistic child is

statistically much more likely to come from a family with immune dysfunction

which certainly explains the rise in stats if you factor in environmental

triggers but as the researchers don't recognize that how can they justify

looking for a genetic link? It is not logical. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well thank you Patty for the kind words and encouragement. I'm not trying to be

the groups " downer " and I think everyone knows me enough to know I thrive on the

positive. Normally I wouldn't have even mentioned issues outside of the

implants, but my attorneys have requested it as they needed it quickly and since

my appt is so far away, I thought who better to ask than the people who have

already been through it? By doing that, I felt it was only fair to give a little

background on why I was asking and why it was so important for all to answer.

Ironically, this group has given me so much more than I ever thought possible.

At the very least, I get to do what I do best here and that's caring for other

people. So by doing that, I've been able use positive energy instead of

drowning in all of the negative currently going on in my life.

Of course I'm not minimizing the loss of my marriage and the family unit,

because I'll tell ya, it sucks. But through these ladies I realize there is

hope for me!
